Fun on the farm in winter. After visiting the farm weekly during the growing season, we hear that children miss special events for them in the winter. So come on out and enjoy Read and Explore, a cure for cabin fever! Our fun and educational programs continue through the winter season, combining hands-on activities with listening to a story.

Parents/guardians and young children (ages preschool to 8 years) are welcome.

Each program costs $10.00 per participating child and includes the materials for the activity. Click HERE to purchase a season pass and receive 10% off!

The programs are on Tuesdays at 10am and Saturdays at 10am, and last about one hour.

Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please call 609-924-2310.Register Now

We will read books about animals in winter and talk about wintertime in nature. After story time, we will make bird feeders with wild bird seed for everyone to take home and help the birds through winter. Weather permitting we’ll visit our farm animals and see if we can match tracks to each.

Learn about how animals keep themselves warm in winter. We will read two stories about animals and explore the sense of touch with wool, feathers, etc. Each child will make a paper bag animal to take home with lots of “fluff.”

We will get ready to wake up from winter and prepare to start gardening. As Saint Patrick’s Day is the traditional day to plant peas and spinach and get the garden ready, we will start our gardens early! Our reading is a selection from “Frog and Toad are Friends.” Each child plants seeds to take home.
